It's not a packager's job to rehash upstream's changelog. If people want to learn about that they can look at the changelog that's already %doc'd into the package or go read upstream's website. What /is/ the packager's job is to show how else the package changes with every release - what bugzilla entries it fixes, what patches are backported, and so forth. -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
